A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

Takeo and Meyer were free after having a chat with Neil and the others.

"It's been quite a while.

"Right...

Still, I heard Lord Suzune play a little violin, but that was the first time you heard it properly.

Oh, and it's something that shakes your emotions.

Meyer says as she thinks.

"Music, theatre... isn't it?

Maybe it's music since the theatre...

At least the music should have a set of stories.

"Is it a story in music?

"Yeah.

Songs that inspire allies in battle and strife, songs that gracefully enjoy tea, songs that you hear when strolling in nature...

It's the same as the book.

I think it's something to create after preparing the subject matter.

Either way, are we going to talk about this?

There are no craftsmen, no performers... it's an uninterrupted business.

"I see... um..."

I sometimes wonder if Meyer would "recommend it to our son".

and. Walking down the boulevard, I'm worried about something fuzzy.

What do you care when Takeo stops?

"What's wrong?

Meyer also stops and sees Takeo.

"... no.

Takeo says so, but sees a store that is a mess.

"... do you care?

Looks like you're in the middle of a store.

Meyer also sees the store destination.

"Has this happened before...

Shall I stop by for a moment?

"Yes."

Takeo stopped by the store.

The store was an old bookstore.

I told the manager about the two little ones and watched a little.

Mia and Pana are also free to look around the store.

"Director. This... that's interesting.

Meyer was looking inside with a slightly larger eye booklet in his hand.

"Is that an ancient map?

"Yeah. It's a collection of maps from the time of the founding of the country around what has become the territory of today.

I don't know the author... but he must have made one book of things collected by an individual.

It's done well.

I think lovers will buy these... but you don't seem to be in this land.

"Old maps will work, won't they?

Architecture as well as strategy and tactics.

"Really?

I think I'm simply a world of hobbies that I enjoy compared to now and back in the day.

"That's the way you'll enjoy it, though.

If it's originally swampy, it's poorly drained, or if there was originally a village, there's going to be a water vein.

I think we can assume the battlefield.

"I see.

Then you're buying this.

"I'll get it out of the lab funds later, so please keep the receipt.

"Okay.

Meyer nods.

"Did the director care about anything?

"There was a..."

Show Meyer what Takeo has.

"Is this a paper knife...? In an old bookstore?

"It was at the window.

It bothers me somehow.

"Hmm... it feels normal to see it.

Meyer takes a serious look.

"Would you like to have it?

Takeo gives it to Meyer.

Meyer turns her surprise face to Takeo.

"It's heavy... I can't imagine it from the looks of it.

Is this something?

"There were no explanatory notes or anything.

It's a paper knife with an unusual weight... but you don't think it makes sense that the paper knife is this weight, do you?

"Yeah.

I think it's normal to have it cut easily.

"So I decided to buy it.

Takeo said with a bitter smile.

"It's also a thought to buy if you're curious.

Meyer laughed too.

"Lord. Lord."

"Takeo. I'm back.

Two little ones fly up to Takeo and the others and sit on Takeo's shoulder.

"Yes, welcome back.

What happened?

"Listen! I found Pana awesome!

"... I wanted it to be a mistake.

Mia tells me with a slightly excited pana.

"What happened?

Takeo narrows his eyes and listens.

"It's a book of spirits!

Meyer made a difficult face, Mia said.

"Thank you for your purchase.

Takeo and the others start heading to the inn after the store.

"... Director... what do you want to do?

"I won't do anything.

"Report... do you?

"To whom?

"... to Your Majesty..."

"You can do it.

If you're willing to buy it, you can consider selling it.

"Are you sure?

I even got a corner.

"If you only want Your Majesty... well. Pana said she wasn't going to say what kind of spirit, so she might put it on first if someone was there with the right conditions, but I guess that's when.

"It would be nice if it were decent..."

"You've also met about two people on this journey.

It sounds like an evil god or an evil god to Pana, but... I think it was decent.

"Decent or not... it would be tough if they had a disaster.

"In my previous sense, I guess it depends more on what the contractor thinks than on the good and the bad of the Spirit.

"I manage that because it's tough if that contractor was a bad guy.

"I see...

Would you sell this to the Royal Mages?

"I guess that's a good idea.

"How much do you think is the market?

"I have also been attached to His Majesty the King's Capital for a long time, but you have never treated it as just a book of spirits.

How much does the director intend to do?

"I guess a few gold coins would be fine, but...

If this were to become the Spirit of His Highness Pat... how much do you think it would be worth?

Takeo lifts the book and asks.

"Did I say hundreds of gold coins?

"Huh... value depends on who has it.

"Right.

So. Did the director look inside?

"Yeah. I read it.

"... wait a minute.

The director read it, didn't he?

"Yeah. Not perfect, but I could read it.

So somehow I know the spirit of this book.

But if Pana says she won't, I'm not going to either.

"... what kind of spirit is it?

"It's a secret.

Takeo said it seemed fun.
